I once (during a brief stint in IT) was working on a design project and the head engineer came over and said to me: if you ever want to piss of the end-user, put a giant blinking brain on the page. Thankfully it was not my giant blinking brain he was referring to...
I'm reminded of that when I see these bleeding red stars all over the "upgraded" forum. Completely useless.. distracting.. and none too easy on the eye. I know the site wants to push the cc brand, but please guys... its a forum.

Re: Bleeding red stars on the forum topics
I don't mind the stars, but the blinking ones aren't very good. There should be a better way to denote the large topics; the blinking is slow enough that it's hard to tell.
Re: Bleeding red stars on the forum topics
They're obnoxious to me too and I would start a petition to have them removed
but that's soooo yesterday.

You know that's exactly what Wizard's of the Coast did recently. And they called him "Gleemax."gdeangel wrote:I once (during a brief stint in IT) was working on a design project and the head engineer came over and said to me: if you ever want to piss of the end-user, put a giant blinking brain on the page.
And we were very much annoyed. We are still annoyed. We are still talking in a royal pronoun.
Re: Bleeding red stars on the forum topics
Well... you made me look.
but alas no kill the red buttons option was found . . . I did manage to eliminate all signatures tho... so it wasn't a total bust.
